In the graphs below, we tracked the odds for all of the top rookies to capture the 2020 Calder Trophy.

Odds for 2020 Calder Trophy: Top Contenders

• Top Three
• All Players Recently Listed

• Sept. 21: Cale Makar has won the 2020 Calder Trophy, beating out Quinn Hughes and Dominik Kubalik
• Mar. 2: Makar (-130) has dropped further over the last month. Quinn Hughes is now nearly tied with the preseason favorite at +100.
• Feb. 3: Injuries to Makar opened the door for Hughes to close the gap, and he’s done just that, taking over the rookie scoring lead in the last couple weeks.
• Jan. 3: Cale Makar is leaving the field in his dust, improving to -237 in the latest update, despite missing eight games due to injury.
• Dec. 2: Vancouver D-man Quinn Hughes has moved up to second behind Cale Maker, meaning the Calder is likely to go to a defenseman for the first time since 2015 (Aaron Ekblad).
• Nov. 4: Cale Makar is the new favorite (+240); the Avs defenseman is tied for the rookie scoring lead while playing 19 minutes per night.
• Oct. 11: Some surprise here: Hughes’ odds got shorter (+230 to +200) even though he’s point-less in four games and a -3 for the winless Devils.
• Oct. 1: No surprise here: Jack Hughes (+230) and Kaapo Kakko (+240), the #1 and #2 picks from the last draft, have opened as favorites.
